Whether it\u2019s identifying drug contaminants, designing new plastics, or verifying the chemical components of batteries, today\u2019s busy labs need a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer that is fast, easy to use, and take up minimal space in the lab.<\/p>\n

The Thermo Scientific family of Nicolet Summit FTIR spectrometers<\/a> is designed to meet these needs. And to expand the options for our customers, we recently added the Thermo Scientific Nicolet Summit X FTIR Spectrometer<\/a>, which is a flexible, easy-to-use, high-performance FTIR.<\/p>\n

FTIR spectrometry using your own PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As with our other Summit models, the Summit X FTIR Spectrometer<\/a> is a compact, portable instrument that can be used both in the lab and on the production line. The instrument is designed for easy connection to major third-party accessories, allowing for automation and a wide range of sample options. It is also paired with our OMNIC Paradigm Desktop Software, enabling users to easily process their spectra, create customized workflows, and perform multi-component searching\u2014all from a user-friendly dashboard.<\/p>\n

Unlike some of our Summit models that come with a built-in computer, the Summit X FTIR Spectrometer has been designed for researchers who prefer to obtain fast, reliable data using their own PC. With the Summit X FTIR Spectrometer, users can control the spectrometer directly from their external computer. This is especially important for the pharmaceutical industry and other organizations that need to issue their own computers for compliance or data integrity reasons. The Summit X FTIR Spectrometer also lowers the cost of ownership with a 10-year warranty on the LightDrive Optical Engine<\/a>, designed for high-performance data acquisition.<\/p>\n

Researchers can cut their analysis time in half using the \u201csmart background<\/a>\u201d feature that continuously monitors and collects spectra background. When a user walks up to the instrument, it is ready to run the sample, with no need for the additional background step. Users can also send their data to their Thermo Fisher Connect account in the cloud, enabling them to analyze data away from the lab, while collaborating with colleagues anywhere in the world from any device of their choice.<\/p>\n
